Question

I want to do something like this programmatically –

<LinearLayout>
  <RelativeLayout1 weight = 1>
  <RelativeLayout2 weight = 3>
  <RelativeLayout3 weight = 1>
<LinearLayout>

It does not let me do a setWeight programmatically. However, I do see that RelativeLayout has an android:layout_weight parameter in XML. Am I missing something?

Answer 1

When you add the RelativeLayout to the LinearLayout using addView you have to provide a LinearLayout.LayoutParams, something like this :

LinearLayout.LayoutParams params = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(width, height, weight);
linearLayout.addView(relativeLayout, params);
